diskstats reporting wrong amount of writes/second #137

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 

The problem I have is that I get different results when looking at iostat and 
diskstats (5 second intervals):

The amount of writes/s that iostat is measuring is about 5600 while diskstats 
only mentions 600.
/proc/diskstats tells me iostat is correct

raw diskstats output:
